PLAN INTERNATIONAL: Kristine Sloth

18 year old Danish youtuber & blogger Kristine Sloth has a giggle trying on the idea of carrying washing in a tub on her head with Kenyan 18 year old Doreen as they walk down to Lake Victoria from her village in Bondo, Kenya, as part of Doreen's daily life to wash clothes and collect water for her household.

Kristine is a role model and mentor to girls her age promoting girls education and gender equality. As Plan International's new ambassador she has made her own campaign, where she collects money for reusable pads and sex education for girls in Kenya. Together with Plan, Kristine traveled to Bondo in Kenya to deliver the first volume and meet peers girls whom she supports. I documented Kristine as she spent the day with Doreen who is also 18, they talked mostly about their very different lives. Kristine Sloth lives in from Aalborg and makes a living by making videos for YouTube, where she talks about her life and topics that particularly interest young girls. The most popular videos are viewed more than 500,000 times. Doreen told her how she married at age 15, now she has a 2 year old son, and her husband is a drunk and beats her.

Many girls from poor families in Bondo drop out of school when they get their menstrual period because they do not have pads or tampons so they bleed through their school uniform. Kristine has urged her followers (she has 355k on Instagram, 206k Youtube!) to give 18 crowns for a reusable menstrual pads and sex education for girls in Kenya. Menstrual napkins are made of fibers that keep the napkin sterile when washed in water for re-use so the girls don't get infections. These menstruation pads are very important for the girls who can now stay in school and complete their education giving the girls a greater chance of getting a job and earn their own money. "I will make a positive difference with what I can," says Kristine who has collected more than 60,000 crowns, and the campaign is not over yet.

Innovation & Inequality: UNDP

Photo feature in @UNDP new photography series and exhibition in Toyko on 12 December 2017 looking at innovations and inequalities in healthcare around the world – check it out! bit.ly/2zIddV3

"Innovation & Inequality" shines a light on the importance of new health innovations – like vaccines, medicines & diagnostics – and getting them to the people around the world who need them most. My photo documents the use of rapid malaria tests that are helping to save lives of rural children in Kenya.

Image Caption:

Frank, 3, receives a finger-prick test in Kwasala Village, 15 kilometers from the Ugandan border. Elizabeth, a health worker from Living Goods, is testing him for malaria.

90 percent of deaths from malaria are in young African children. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is the first critical step for effectively treating children with the disease, but access to diagnostic tests is still limited.

Efforts are underway to develop more accurate tests as well as combat challenges in healthcare delivery. Organizations like Living Goods are training community health workers to travel from door to door, ensuring that families can spend their limited funds on lifesaving diagnostics, vaccines and medicines rather than on traveling to distant hospitals.

ActionAid: Women2Kili Campaign

Campaign assignment for ActionAid documenting a 29 women representing the millions of local women farmers across the African continent who climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro to draw attention to the demands. When they successfully returned, they were met at the foot of the mountain by the almost 400 rural women from 22 African countries to share the struggles that they face and to call on their decision-makers to stand up for women’s land rights.

The women produced a charter of principles and demands that specifically focused on women’s access to use, control, own, inherit and dispose of their land and natural resources. Lovelyn Ejim Nnenna, the Chairperson of the Rural Women’s Council, presented the charter on behalf of all of the women to the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, who was represented by Ouriatou Danfakha.

Government representatives from Kenya, Burundi, and Tanzania were also in attendance, and representatives from the African Union asked that the women work with them to present their demands at the United Nations in 2017.
